Dead-u-tante Calaca

I saw these cuties on Pinterest....and thought, "Si se puede!!!"

A calaca( a colloquial Mexican Spanish name for skeleton) is a figure of a skeleton (usually human) commonly used for decoration during the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. They are usually dressed to portray an event or occupation.

FUN STUFF: In this swap you will create a "dead-u-tante" (think quincinera, debutante or prom) inspired calaca. The size should be no smaller than 3" and you can use whatever medium and embellishments you desire, but it CANNOT be a paper or dotee calaca. It can be three dimensional like a mini figurine. You can alter an existing skelly to resemble a "dead-u-tante, use a doll or even sculpt your own out of clay. The calaca should be able to stand or sit on its own. You're only limited by your own imagination!

NOT SO FUN STUFF: Sender's choice to one partner, send on time, rate fairly & promptly and do your best work!
